The Mint, LV matchcover with web address

It looks like someone is making matchcovers with old casino names. This one is obvious, but might not have been. The Mint closed in 1989, the world wide web was designed by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990 with wide commercial use not coming for several more years.

Manufacturer is in New Mexico (Western SkyLine) and ad on the front is for a website called "www.BowlingShirt.com". They sell retro logo clothing of many types, including bowling shirts.

I got this one at a recent chips show and knew from the pink foil that I didn't have it. Only when I got around to putting it in the collection today did I see it's not a real "The Mint" casino cover. The logo apppears correct, though.

Has anybody seen other modern recreations of old casino matchcovers?
